Participants will learn the practical steps needed to become a volunteer, including identifying personal skills and actions required, and contributing to a simple action plan for securing a role. In addition, learners will explore application methods, including how to apply for a position and contribute to writing a basic letter of application.By the end of the course, learners will have a clear understanding of volunteering pathways and be better prepared to take their first steps into a voluntary role."
